German physicist
Tilman Esslinger is a German experimental physicist . He is Professor at ETH Zurich , Switzerland , and works in the field of ultracold quantum gases and optical lattices .
Biography
Tilman Esslinger received his PhD in physics from the University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics , Germany, in 1995. In his doctoral research he worked under the supervision of Theodor Hänsch on subrecoil laser cooling and optical lattices . He then build up his own group in Hänsch’s lab and conducted pioneering work on atom lasers ,[ 1] Bose–Einstein condensate ,[ 2] Mott-insulator transition with a Bose gas in an optical lattice.[ 3] [ 4] habilitation , Esslinger was in October 2001 appointed full professor at ETH Zurich , Switzerland, where he pioneered one-dimensional atomic quantum gases,[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] cavity quantum electrodynamics .[ 8]
Research
The work of Esslinger and his group has stimulated an interdisciplinary exchange between the condensed-matter and quantum-gas communities. Recent notable results include the development of a quantum simulator for graphene ,[ 9] cavity-optomechanical system in which the Dicke quantum phase transition to a superradiant state has been observed for the first time,[ 10] [ 11] superfluidity in that system.[ 12] Theodor Hänsch and Immanuel Bloch ) in 2000 and currently holds an ERC advanced grant. He is an author on more than 80 peer-reviewed journal articles, which have been cited more than 8000 times (as of March 2013).
